THE NEW DEPOT'S COST.
Union Railway Directors Find that 1t Will Be
Increased $4,000 by Necessary Changes.

There little business of general interest
transacted at the meeting Of the Union Railway
directors at the New Denison hotel yesterday
The meeting called chiefly to consider the
work in progress on the passenger station, tun-
mel, and other improvements. Since the direc-
tors last came together the work in all its feat
ures has greatly advanced and it is in a condi-
ton now to give the company a correct
idea of the total cost Necessary changes in the
general plan have increased the figures
from the original estimate. There
have been additional purchases of
real estate to provide room for tracks not at
first contemplated. This increased expense will
make difference of 500, 900, but it has been in
Cured principally by the Poeue's-run improve
ment and securing real estate for the storage
tracks. To meet the cost as originally estimated
the company issued 81, 600. 900. but what will be
required beyond that amount capitalists are
ready to advance No material change was made
in the system of tracks planned by Engineer
Doran, but additional exits and entrances for
the train sheds in connection with the streets
were ordered.
President ingalls,, of the Big Four. saw the
work yesterday for the first time since it has
been in progress. The other visiting members
OF the board were g. M. Beach ana G. II. Paine,
of Cleveland; J. N McCulloch, of Pittsburg;
General Manager McCrea, of the Pennsylvania
lines, and w. Il. McKeeu, of Terre Haute. all
OF WDOm expressed themselves satlSue0 Win
what had been done. The only part of the
work delayed is that of the viaduct between Me-
rIdlan and Pennsylvania streets. Some owners
of property on the right of way not willing
to accept the amount of damages awarded them
by the city commissioners, and contemplate
suing the Union Railway Company. The com
pany is willing to pay into the city treasury the
$36 600 assessed and begin the work once if
the city will relieve 1t of any judgments the dis
satisfied parties may obtain. When this matter
is adjusted the viaduct will be pushed forward
with all speed in order to have it completed
when the other improvements finished.

The AIaskan's Riches.

Alaskan Indians do not reckon wealth by
the amount of money or gold person pos
seSses, but rate a man as worth so many
blankets. A government blanket sells in the
stores everywhere throughout the country at
the nominal price of 81. 1t is never more
never less. If an Indian gets hold of $50 and
desires to save it, he buys five blankets and
adds them to the store he already possesses.
An Indian who owns 1900 blankets is i'm
mensely wealthy, and is looked upon as a
nabob by the poor members of his tribe. This
is the currency of the realm among the In
dams, and is recognized by the whites as well
in trading with them.-Lieut II. T. Mona
